With a major winter storm in the forecast heading into Christmas, the city of Barrie is reminding people about the overnight parking by-law and also lengthening the amount of time people cannot park their cars on city streets overnight.
As per the bylaw, on-street parking is not permitted between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. within the Downtown Business Improvement Area, and on other city streets from 12:01 a.m. to 7 a.m., from Dec. 1 through to March 31, 2023.
Due to the forecasted winter storm this weekend, city staff say on-street parking will not be permitted from 12:01 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Dec. 25 and 26.
Residents will need to remove parked vehicles from the road to allow crews to effectively clear the snow.
A notice will be shared by 4 p.m. on Dec. 31 that will confirm whether overnight on-street parking is permitted from 12:01 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Jan. 1.
